Towson vs. Monmouth Prediction
I’m on Towson here. I just trust Towson’s defense a lot more in this matchup even on the road, as this has been a completely different Towson team since the start of conference play when you compare it to the one that struggled it’s way through the non-conference portion of their schedule. I still have my doubts about Monmouth, and I think that the Tigers get the job done here even on the road so I’ll lay the points with Towson in this game.
